i would like to know where do u get this kind of anime games if its ok i would like to have a respond from anyone where do u play this and how Oo if its on pc or what ?

First of all, Higurashi is a Sound Novel and it's much closer to an actual novel than a game. The only interactivity you will find in it is the ability to read optional TIPS that are unlocked after you finish a chapter. Aside from that, all you do is read from the beginning to the end with no choices whatsoever.

Anyway, there are two options at your disposal if you want to read Higurashi in English:

The first one is Sonozaki Futago-tachi's fan translation which has translated the demo that can be found on 07th Expansion's official website. The demo covers Onikakushi-hen (the first arc) in its entirety and can be downloaded here with the English patch pre-installed. They are currently working on the second arc of the series, but you'll need to buy a copy of the original Japanese game in order to use the patch for the rest of the story.

Your second option is MangaGamer's translation. The price they are asking is a bit pricey and their translation leaves to be desired, but this is the best option available if you want to read all of Higurashi as soon as possible. Only the first four arcs are translated so far. The rest will be released monthly starting with Meakashi-hen on February 28.

I have both the original sound novels from MangaGamer, PC Version. Can someone tell me if it's possible to extract the music files from the ".arc" file in the program folder? I tried some software related to arc files already, but they don't work with the arc files of the sound novel. I get some error alerts about "unknown file" or "damaged file".

It has a tutorial when you start the game.
However, since it's all Japanese, I think it's a bit trouble later.

Let me explain simply the gameplay:

A deck (デッキ) with your own 7 cards is the basic.
Each card has five important points you must care: Satellite (サテライト), ATK (攻撃力) & DEF (防御力), Cost (コスト), Attribute (属性), and Skill (スキル).

By setting cards on a blank field, you can creat your (blue) field.
You can't set on enemy's (red) field, but setting on enemy's cards will start a battle.
If your or enemy's field is set on a same place, it will become blank again.

After 14 turns (7 for each side), who has more field is the winner.

Satellite shows what field the card can take.
I think I don't need explain about ATK & DEF point.
Cost is something like weight. You have a limited maximum cost number based on your level, and the total cost of all 7 cards must not over it.
Attribute shows which attributes the card has.
Skill is card's skill... (increase, decrease, buff, debuff... ATK or DEF)

Moreover, the card can upgrade its rarity by evolution (進化), and its level by strengthening (強化). They have a limit though.

This might be a separate entity in itself.
I thought at first might have something to do with rose gun days, he has dredging up war-theme stuff in a lot of his works.
I already know a bit about hinamizawa past from PS so that why I am doubting it be that.
ひぐらしのなく頃に奉 Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Hou (Hou = offering, present)

Looking at title it reminded me of bear --> 奉持つ

Spoiler for In unrelated:

I would like to see Higanbana anime, I got into it quite well and look forward for more of the same.

I think they could release Midnight chapter this year due to having some scenes done already for the Pachinko machine.

Sorry, I should have thanked you earlier. I hope the new stuff will be translated.

I have another question, maybe somebody knows. Mion and Shion have two uncles by the name of Saburou and Ken, as mentioned in Minagoroshi-hen. I think they might be Akane's siblings but maybe they're her husband's brothers. Do you know whose brothers they are?
